Runely is a daily word puzzle with a mystic twist. Solve one 5-letter word each day, then spin the mystic wheel to win one of 60 collectible fantasy cards. **What makes it different:** - Card collection layer gives you a reason to return daily - 4 rarity tiers with beautiful hand-crafted art - Streak rewards + daily login bonuses - No forced ads on the daily puzzle - Free to play, IAP optional Made by a solo developer with 22 years of web dev experience. First mobile game.
honestly this sounds really charming and i love that a solo dev made it. one thing i'd suggest is adding a way to share your daily card pull with friends, like a simple image export or a link that shows what you got. it would give people a reason to brag a bit and probably pull in more players through word of mouth.
Love the daily puzzle plus card collection hook, the no-ads decision is a nice touch. One idea: add a small "share your streak" image generator for the daily word. When someone gets a 10 or 30 day streak, let them post a clean card showing the streak count and the word they solved. That kind of organic sharing is what pulled me into Wordle back in the day and it would do the same here, especially with the fantasy art you already have.
The card collection hook is smart, but a quick "share your guess pattern" feature would help a lot. Something like a 2x5 grid showing which letters were green/yellow/gray at the end, no spoilers, just the path you took. Makes it way easier to brag about a lucky solve in group chats without ruining it for anyone.
